It’s a classic of sorts, and it contains one of Julie Andrews’ finest performances. Just this week it has returned to DVD with this announcement from Warner Archives, and that methinks is a very good thing.

This is one of the better cross-dressing movies. Nothing tops Some Like it Hot but this one is really well-done and a ton of fun. Julie Andrews does a great job and both Robert Preston and Leslie Anne Warren steal the show.
